1 Boiler Water Treatment Preventive Solutions and Complete Treatment Programs Corrosion, scaling and deposition can reduce the operating efficiency of the boiler and all the systems connected to the water/steam cycle of the boiler. It will reduce heat transfer rates, cause equipment and piping failure, and increase fuel costs. Hydrex TM is one tool Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies offers to prevent these problems. Hydrex TM range offers the 1000 Series of high performance chemical formulations for high pressure boilers, medium and low pressure boilers, and hot water generators. Small < 8 T/hr (17,000 lb/hr) steam Medium: 8 to 115 T/hr (17,000 lb/hr to 250,000 lb/hr) Large > 115 T/hr (250,000 lb/hr) Hydrex TM Corrosion inhibitors Resin cleaners Antifoams Descalants Dispersants 1000 SERIES A global offer Our industrial water treatment specialists can provide you with efficient boiler feed water pretreatment technologies such as: Reverse osmosis to reduce chemical demand and reduce scaling and corrosion risk Softeners for lower pressures systems Demineralization for high pressure systems Scale Thickness in mm Fuel Loss % 4 % 7 % 11 % 18 % Scale Thickness (mm) Boiler Scale vs Fuel Efficiency Loss 3.2 mm 1.6 mm 0.8 mm 0.4 mm Average Fuel Efficiency Loss (%) Hydrex TM products are especially formulated to optimize the operation of boilers: Internal treatment with control of scale forming minerals, sludge conditionners, ph and oxygen scavengers Condensate steam treatment with Hydrex TM specialty chemicals Industrial heating is one of the largest industrial uses of water and can require a large volumes. Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies also develops efficent water reuse solutions to produce large volumes of cost effective boiler feed water.

3 Cooling Water Treatment Preventive Solutions and Complete Safety Programs Closed systems from less than 100 m 3 /hr to 550 m 3 /hr Open systems from 250 m 3 /hr to more than 100,000 m 3 /hr Scale deposit, corrosion, fouling and biological proliferation can cause system downtime, loss of equipment efficiency, replacement of equipment, and can increase the risk of disease from pathogenic micro-organisms. In addition to supplying water treatment equipment, Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies provides a set of services allowing us to guarantee the reliable running of all your cooling water installations. Hydrex range offers two advanced series of high performance chemical formulations for the treatment of open and closed cooling systems. Hydrex TM series SERIES Scale Inhibitors: phosphorus and non-phosphorus based products, homopolymeric dispersants and high performance polymers Corrosion inhibitors: anodic, cathodic, organic Biodispersants Cooling tower cleaning agents A total solution The VWS industrial water treatment specialists can provide you with: Sidestream filtration technologies from multimedia filters to membranes Chemical feed Control of cycles (scale and corrosion control devices) and chemical level for your cooling systems. Industrial cooling is one of the most widely used industrial processes, and requires large volumes of water. VWS develops efficent water reuse solutions to produce large volumes of cooling make-up water for less cost to industries. Hydrex TM series SERIES Oxidizing and non-oxidizing biocides for Legionella control and bio-fouling

4 A Global Packaged Offering for Cooling Water Treatment >>> Enhancing / restoring efficiency of cooling water systems >>> Maintaining cooling water systems integrity >>> Ensuring safe and cost-effective operation Legionella Control Hydrex TM provides the Legionella program to secure your facility and process: methodical analysis of risks, revamping of cooling water systems in accordance with regulation, analytical survey, technical assistance, cleaning of cooling towers and circuits, training, preventive treatment, extensive research & development programs, An example of a Cost Effective Program For a closed circuit equipped with cooling towers Make-up water is: surface water, Ryznar Index 6, untreated water. Fouling of the packing had been observed after a few years of operation. The client had to decrease temperature of the circuit to avoid fouling. Production losses were very important. With Hydrex TM, the annual cost of treatment now represents only 10 % of the previous loss of production per year.
